Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7

Madhuri Dixit ditches Bolly jhatkas for Latino movesFor the upcoming season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Madhuri Dixit has decided to ditch the Bolly jhatkas and latkas. Instead she will be showcasing some hep western dances including Latino, paso doble, tango, flamenco and salsa. In fact her opening act will feature some sexy Latino dance moves.

A source from the sets says the diva is is practicing day in and out to perfect her dance. Says choreographer Punit Pathak who is teaching the diva all the sexy moves, "She behaved like an obedient student and kept telling us 'please keep correcting me whenever I falter.'

She learnt almost ninety percent of the choreography on the first day itself. One time she twisted her leg while doing a lift but didn't even do an 'ouch'. Just moved to a corner, rotated her foot few times and joined us back in no time without any fuss. We're feeling privileged as we're going to be participating in the act along with her on the song Dhoom machale."

Madhuri Dixit: Not necessary best of dancers will win ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’

Actress Madhuri Dixit, who is judging dance reality show ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’, feels best dancer may not win the show as contestant who strikes a chord with audience eventually emerges victorious.

“As a person I learnt lots of things (from the show) when we see the journey of so many contestants on the show, how they began and how they evolved. It is always not the best of dancers who win the show, but the contestants have to touch the hearts of the audience,” Madhuri told PTI in an interview.

The actress is judging the show for the fourth time in a row. The other judges are filmmaker Karan Johar and choreographer-director Remo D’Souza.

“Acting and dance both are my passion. In film industry acting and dancing both are important. I am very happy doing ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’, it is very close to my heart. I love to see people dancing and judging them,” she said.

“There are lots of new things this time like introduction of new dance forms, newer concepts. This time we are going to be stricter… Getting eight, nine and ten marks will be difficult. They (contestants) will have to work really hard to get good marks,” Madhuri said.

“We also have lot of fun stuff like lie-o-meter, when one of the judges is too diplomatic we will be using that. We will be changing choreographers midway and make it more challenging for the contestants,” she said.

The current seventh season of the dance show will see Ukrainian dance expert Maksim Chmerkovskiy on the jury.

Maksim will be there for few weeks. He is well trained in Latino and that kind of dancing, so we will have an expert guy talking about the dance forms and contestants,” Madhuri said.

Another change this season will be Madhuri’s look. She won’t be seen in her embellished saris. She would rather don a western look.

“Three seasons we have done with Indian dresses, then it starts looking repetitive so we have tried to break it up by going Indo-western this time,” she said.

This season contestants include TV actors, comedian and sportsman. One of the contestants is former Indian pacer Sreesanth, who is banned for life by the BCCI for his alleged involvement in spot-fixing in IPL.

“I think we just want to see him (Sreesanth) as a dancer, see his growth. What he has done before and all that is none of our business. He is one of the contestants and we have to judge him on the basis of dance and nothing else,” Madhuri said.

Just a couple of weeks into the show and the boat seems to have rocked for Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7. With a very average line-up of contestants, this year Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa has been very disappointing and to add to it Drashti Dhami has been shown the door.

Drashti Dhami took on to twitter and wrote, “My journey at Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa comes to an end. Thank u all for your love and support.”

“When it comes to dancing, Drashti was a powerful contestant and everyone liked her. But as far as hosting the show is concerned, her anchoring skills don’t seem up to the mark,” says a source from the sets.

According to our sources, it seems like the viewers will once again get a chance to see Manish Paul flirting with Madhuri Dixit on the stage of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa as Manish Paul is the probable one to replace Drashti Dhami as a host on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7.

Manish Paul has been considered to replace the beautiful and charming Drashti. Manish Paul has been the host of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa since past two seasons and the channel is considering to bring him back for the current season to host the show along with Ranvir Shorey.

Earlier the channel was very keen to have Manish Paul not as their host but as one of their celebrity contestants, something that Manish Paul had refused, but looks like he will not be able to turn down the offer to anchor Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7.

Well this just goes on to prove that our analysis is always unbiased!!!

Eliminations and walk-outs are common when it comes to Colors Channel’s dance show “Jhalak Dikhla Ja”. Now it seems ouster and replacement of show hosts is becoming equally common on the show.

First, Manish Paul who had been hosting the past two seasons of ‘Jhalak’ was replaced by Bollywood actor Ranvir Shorey, who has been hosting the seventh season of Jhalak along with TV actress Drashti Dhami since it began June 7.

Manish Paul and Kapil Sharma were the show hosts of Season 6 of Jhalak Dikhla Ja. Both the actors were replaced by Ranvir and Drashti for the current season. But, Ranvir-Drashti’s pairing apparently did not work and the two might have headed to exit.

Recently, reports were doing the rounds all over the web that Drashti who had been co-hosting the show with Ranvir was asked to leave the show by the Colors Channel.

Drashti had won millions of hearts by her acting skills in and as Madhubala on the small screen. She is also the winner of ‘Jhalak Dikhla Ja’ season 6. But somehow the beautiful and talented actress failed to impress TV audience with her stint as an anchor, and shown the door.

Now, the grist from the gossip mills is that Ranvir Shorey, who has made his debut as anchor with JDJ Season 7, has been asked to quit the show!

“Discussions are on at the channel. The makers were not getting the desired results from Ranvir and Drashti in comparison to last seasons’ hosts, Manish Paul and Kapil Sharma. But their decision to let Drashti go was surprising as it was Ranvir who was getting more flak on social networking sites,” according to a leading Daily, citing an insider of the production team of Jhalak.

The gossip tongues are wagging that Manish Paul has been roped in by the Channel to replace the “Madhubala” actress, and Ranvir, what we heard the gossipy grapevine say, might be replaced by VJ Andy, who was recently evicted from the popular reality dance show.

Well, after abrupt exit of Drashti ‘Madhubala’ Dhami, it seems like ‘Jhalak’ viewers will once again get a chance to see Manish Paul entertaining them with his fabulous sense of humor and watch him flirting with the dhak dhak girl Madhuri Dixit Nene on the show.

The current season of Jhalak is making headlines for all the wrong reasons recently, stay tuned to see online and offline action on JDJ stage and find out what happens next!
